Version 1.07 (included in 2.2.11) of the rtl8139 driver is _evil_. Granted, older versions are far worse (if you generated > 95 Mbit of trafic,your machine would lock up). I use version 1.08a, and it works reasonably;this excludes the occusasional:

eth0: Oh Oh, simulatinous entry of interrupt handler

message.

Could you try to upgrade to v1.08a and see if the memleaks go away?(v1.08 is available from Donalds site)
